Zumbatomic® coming in January

Zumbatomic® is a dance fitness program created by Zumba® for kids ages four to twelve. It combines high energy international music with kid-friendly choreography and games to teach children that exercise is fun, and that it is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle. I will be starting a weekly class here in Valdosta at Leapin' Lizards Party and Fun Zone later this month.

The children will be divided into two age groups. Li'l Starz are four to seven years old, and Big Starz are eight to twelve years old. The first half hour of the Zumbatomic® class will be aimed at Li'l Starz, and the second half will target Big Starz. This is just a recommendation because often children have limited attention spans, but the children are welcome to participate for the entire hour if they wish.

I do take into consideration that children's bodies are still developing, and I encourage them to move freely and naturally. A Zumbatomic® class is not just an adult Zumba® class that uses kid-friendly music. The steps are broken down during Zumbatomic® more so than in an adult class to make the children feel successful. The Zumbatomic® program also uses games to break up any monotony and help develop cognitive processes, as well as make it fun and easy.

The goal of Zumbatomic® is to show boys and girls that exercise is fun, and to help them develop a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise. The program can have many positive affects on children such as teaching them respect for others, teamwork, pride, confidence, and resposibility, as well as helping them improve coordination, balance, memory, and creativity.

The next Zumbatomic® session will begin on January 21, 2012 at Leapin' Lizards Party and Fun Zone on Dale Dr, right off St. Augustine Rd across from Blanton Commons Apartments, about a mile from the Valdosta Mall. The Li'l Starz will begin at 10:00, am and Big Starz start at 10:30 am. The cost for the entire session is $50 per child. This will include the weekly Zumbatomic class plus play time on the inflatables afterward. You can be sure your child will sleep well after Zumbatomic® and active play!
